Fancy Nancy and the Mermaid Ballet by Jane O'connor

Fancy Nancy is back again, this time with a dancing theme for all of those tiny tutu-wearing fans!

Fancy Nancy and her best friend, Bree, couldn’t be more excited about their upcoming dance show. After all, it’s all about mermaids and who knows how to be a fancy, glamorous mermaid better than Fancy Nancy herself? But when another ballerina wins the coveted role of the mermaid, Nancy is stuck playing a dreary, dull tree.
Can Nancy bring fancy flair to her role, even though it isn’t the one she wanted? And when disaster strikes right before the
big ballet, who will step in to steal the spotlight?

From bestselling duo Jane O’Connor and Robin Preiss Glasser comes a fancy, frilly ballet story with a lot of heart. Tiny fans will shout, “Encore!”

Praise for Fancy Nancy:

“It’s innocent and magical and just the book you want your little girl to readUtterly charming” Mum reviewing Fancy Nancy

Jane O'Connor has always had a secret fondness for froufrou. An editor at a major publishing house, she has written more than thirty books for children. She lives with her family in the glamour capital of the world – New York City.

Robin Preiss Glasser, who habitually sports glasses and jeans, discovered her "inner Nancy" while illustrating this book. "Wearing lace-trimmed socks helps me draw better," she says. She has illustrated many books and lives in Southern California with her family and tiara collection.
